57. You're right it's not black and white.

But our government could create more incentives for companies that create jobs here.

And of course the corporations should pay their fair share of taxes. The loopholes and offshore banking tricks are extremely damaging to our country overall.

We can't create laws that force corporations to share more of their profits with employees but I'm sure there could be incentives created that would make it more advantageous to do so. I'm not a lawmaker so I can't say what they are but it seems our representatives, Republicans certainly but also a fair number of Democrats, hold onto laws that make it more profitable for corporations to play these tricks that shortchange everyone else.

I can't say if the TPP will be good or bad for the country, I don't know enough about the details, but the fear is that the focus will be to increase corporate profits once again at even more expense of our people. The whole country could be made much better off if our lawmakers were working to better the life of our citizens but that seems to be a very rare value nowadays. It seems to be a game between the upper powers exclusively with very little consideration for the average person who must live under the decisions made up above.
